Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Risk Assessment in Craniofacial Trauma at a Level 1 Trauma Center.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Traumatic craniofacial injuries result in negative psychological sequelae. This study aimed to analyze Injured Trauma Survivor Screen (ITSS) results to assess posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) risk in traumatic craniofacial injuries and identify corresponding factors that may contribute to increased risk. Methods: In a retrospective cohort analysis, all patients with craniofacial fractures, identified via International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision codes, who were screened with the ITSS survey at a single level 1 trauma center from June 2022 to January 2024 were included. Results: Two hundred forty-eight patients met the inclusion criteria (median age 54 y; interquartile range: 33.0-72.5 y; 66.1% men); 22.9% of patients screened positive for PTSD risk. With every 1-day increase in length of stay, the odds of a positive PTSD risk score were 1.08 times that of a negative PTSD risk score (odds ratio [OR] 1.08; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.03-1.13; Conclusions: Craniofacial trauma carries a similar risk of PTSD to the general trauma population. Increased length of stay, Hispanic race, and injury via assault are patient characteristics that can raise suspicion for PTSD risk in this trauma population, especially at centers that do not make use of the ITSS.
